American mystic CHARLES FILLMORE (1854-1948) was a founder of Unity Church, part of the early "New Age" movement called New Thought that was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Unity adheres to a "positive, practical Christianity," and this 1940 edition embodies that philosophy: it preaches that poverty is a sin, and that God wants us to be rich...a strain that has been picked up by some modern fundamentalist preachers in a way not entirely faithful to Fillmore's beliefs. Fillmore's lessons encompass... ¿ Spiritual Substance, the Fundamental Basis of the Universe ¿ Spiritual Mind, the Omnipresent Directive Principle of Prosperity ¿ Faith in the Invisible Substance, the Key to Demonstration ¿ Man, the Inlet and Outlet of Divine Mind ¿ The Law That Governs the Manifestation of Supply ¿ Wealth of Mind Expresses Itself in Riches ¿ God Has Provided Prosperity for Every Home ¿ God Will Pay Your Debts ¿ Tithing, the Road to Prosperity ¿ Right Giving, the Key to Abundant Receiving ¿ Laying Up Treasures ¿ Overcoming the Thought of Lack
